The trend of mobile shopping is fast catching up with all age groups across all income levels.

With the increased competition, business owners are not only wondering how to get a mobile app developed but the real challenge is to get it noticed and popular. In the midst of millions of apps, how can a single app scream and ask for attention? How can it get ample limelight? Will a media coverage help or will word of mouth work better? If only you can get people to talk about your app. With all the competition, there is a lot of noise and there is no one ruler in the mobile application market.

So here are the seven marketing strategies that can get your mobile app the attention it needs.

5. Blog or Website – Promote your app with the help of a blog or make a promotional campaign on your website. Once you create either or both, you can promote it on social media channels

6. Plan the launch – You have to plan the pre-launch and launch of your app meticulously. Make a teaser campaign to generate curiosity amongst audience and then you can organize an event to launch it.
